London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games Business Opportunities 

 

With support from CBI London, the London Business Network website launches today to provide information on the commercial opportunities arising from the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. The purpose of the site is to provide a one-stop shop to find out the latest information on how UK businesses can get involved.
 
The Games offer enormous opportunities for the London business community. London 2012 expects to have around 7,000 direct contracts which, together with its suppliers, will form supply chains of around 75,000 opportunities. The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) expects to allocate over GBP6 billion worth of work through thousands of contracts to firms and their supply chains over the next few years.  


In order to find out more about partnering opportunities, we would encourage you to register your business with the London Business Network at www.london2012.com/business

All zone business permits now available

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!
 
The Business page in the new, modern-style R & TT no longer needs any space advertising to support the business news stories.
 
SEJ now sponsors the page alone.
 
This means there is much more space for editorial and focus on your business.
 
Full company contact details can now be included such as e-mail, website, mobile and landlines – and you can have an image.
 
The newspaper now also reaches as far as Brentford, Chiswick, Mortlake, Sheen, Kingston, Surbiton, New Malden, Hounslow and soon Feltham.
 
The page is also repeated in the Richmond Guardian, delivered to every home in the Borough.
 
SEJ sends a single version with newspaper heading to you which you can use freely on web-sites, brochures, leaflets, letters or any company advertising.                                                            .
 
It reaches over 110,000 readers plus it is now on-line.
 
For a snip of the price of most leaflet delivery companies it is doubtful you will find a better price or reach a wider audience.
 
There are even 2 price structures available.
 
I am now actively looking for more companies to fill the March edition of     R & TT – and we are engaged in negotiation with the Surrey Comet for exactly the same.
